Ice Cubes

A woman struggles through a migraine as she sits down with a friend at a cafe.

I'm a deaf animator! and I made Ice Cubes, this film about a migraine over the course of a semester in college! But if a slice of life with deaf signing animal people isn't your jam, how about Finger Brew??? Where a bird and human fight over how to make their soup :)

Both films have ASL in them because there's far too little media out there without my lovely native language and culture in them and I am determined to fill that niche.

I just watched The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.

It is fully in ASL with English voice over and closed captions.

I thought the writing was great, the acting was phenomenal (idk about the voice acting. My computer was on mute), and the editing...but overall, it was a good show. It's not for everyone; it's a story about sexual assault. It explores the different way people respond to allegations: from active support and passive support, to dismissal and denial, to guilt and shame. I was hesitant to watch it because it was advertised as a dark comedy about sexual harassment, but I'm glad I did. I thought they handled the challenging themes well despite the inherent goofiness of the characters and settings they chose to tell their story with.
